A recent blog post discussed the challenges of clock signal integrity and clock jitter in deep submicron semiconductor devices. Nice, clean clock signals are degraded due to many factors, including ...

As every engineer learns at an early stage, clock edges must be obeyed. In the digital domain, synchronization through global and local clock trees, slew rate and rising/falling times all combine to ...

To address the discontinuity and constant bias inherent in traditional hard and soft threshold functions, an atomicclock signal denoising method based on the hyperbolic tangent smooth threshold ...

RF absorption and PLL phase calibration help phased-array subsystems reduce clock spurs while preserving spectral purity and ...

The advantage of a radio-controlled clock that receives the time signal from WWVB is that you never have to set it again. Whether it’s a little digital job on your desk, or some big analog wall clock ...

As consumers thirst for the high-definition experiences delivered by expanding amounts of signal bandwidth, design challenges related to clocking become increasingly difficult and complicated. The ...

Clocks are the heartbeats of embedded systems, providing timing references and synchronization between components, subsystems, and entire systems. Incorrect clock signal amplitudes and timing can ...

Modern oscilloscopes capture, view, measure, and analyze complex RF signals in the time, frequency, and modulation domains. Time-domain analysis, the original oscilloscope function, allows users to ...

As chips grow ever larger and more complex, gate count and amount of embedded memory grow dramatically. The number of clock domains is also increasing steadily. Several dozen different clocks are ...

Time-frequency analysis provides a framework for examining signals whose frequency content evolves over time. Traditional Fourier analysis decomposes a signal globally into sinusoids and loses ...
